Résumé :	Dans cette suite à son livre «L'optique des rayons, des fronts d'onde et des caustiques», Stavroudis ne se contente pas de couvrir ses propres résultats de recherche, mais inclut également des développements plus récents. Le livre est divisé en trois parties, en commençant par les concepts mathématiques de base qui sont ensuite appliqués dans le livre. La géométrie de surface est traitée avec des mathématiques classiques, tandis que la seconde partie couvre la fonction k, discutant et résolvant l'équation eikonale ainsi que les équations de Maxwell dans ce contexte. Une dernière partie sur les applications consiste en conclusions tirées ou développées dans les deux premières parties du livre, discutant de sujets tels que l'ovale cartésien, le Schiefspiegler moderne, le principe de Huygen, et le modèle de Maxwell de l'objectif parfait de Gauss. Tous ensemble pour devenir la référence dans ce domaine essentiel de l'optique
